    Hi Arpan,

    mapEntityToDatasource is used to map the staging field to target data source. For an example, in CustCustomerV3Entity,  this method is used to map EmployeeResponsibleNumber to MainContractWorker. In this entity, EmployeeResponsibleNumber is an unmapped field and MainContracWorker is marked with an access modifier "Private".

    insertEntityDataSource method is used to perform additional operations while inserting new records. In the same entity as mentioned above,  this method has been overridden to validate customer record if an invoice account is being mentioned (different from the customer account).

    Both of these will be executed during writing from staging to target.
